Hey,
Just wondering if the following is possible, and if so, could someone put me in the direction of some instructions please?!
I have a macbook and a mac mini. Until recently, the mac mini was exclusively used in my lab at uni, while my macbook was used at home.
I bought a time capsule about 10 months ago and successfully moved the backups for my macbook from an external HDD to the time capsule. I then moved the HDD into uni to use with my mac mini. I've now finished in uni, and as such have brought my mac mini home (along with the HDD of time machine backups for it).
What I want to do is to use the time capsule to now backup my mac mini, while retaining the original backups for it. I know how to copy an external HDD backup onto a new Time Capsule, but my understanding is that this will wipe the time capsule and I'll lose the backups for my macbook!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
